00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs. Welcome to the Great America Show. Great to have you with us
00:00:04.980 as Election Day approaches. And you know we're in the final stretch because even Democrats are
00:00:11.340 more worried about President Biden's mental health. Biden has been completely delusional,
00:00:16.840 of course, for at least two years. And now the tip poll shows 64% of voters are concerned about
00:00:23.980 his mental health. 52% of them Democrats worried and Biden's off the rails, threatening not so
00:00:32.340 subtly the Delaware U.S. attorney who will decide charges against his son Hunter Biden after four
00:00:39.800 years of so-called investigation. That U.S. attorney, by the way, the apparent target of Biden's brief
00:00:46.540 hot mic moment in Florida. You may remember that when he said, quote, no one F's with a Biden.
00:00:53.500 End quote. And Biden is talking with them donors about nuclear war, for crying out loud.
00:01:00.100 And Biden's taken to shipping Zelensky rail cars full of cash. Tens of billions of dollars to buy
00:01:06.860 more weaponry and ammunition. I can't at this point tell you how much of that taxpayer money,
00:01:13.120 somewhere between 60 and 70 billion dollars, has gone for weapons and how much might be hush money
00:01:19.380 for Zelensky. And President Biden, every once in a while, just basically challenges Putin to a round
00:01:26.400 of nuclear exchanges just to prove how tough a Biden really is. There's understandably a lot of anxiety
00:01:33.800 in the world markets, lots of volatility. There's just no leadership anywhere, it seems, not in Europe,
00:01:40.180 nor certainly the United States, as Putin bullies on with his almost eight month long war against
00:01:46.860 Ukraine. A war that wasn't expected, by the way, to last more than a month or two. Zelensky, I imagine,
00:01:53.960 though, is wishing he hadn't made that last smart aleck remark about the weather in Crimea.
00:01:59.020 That is, cloudy right after the Ukrainians had bombed the Kerch Strait Bridge between Crimea and
00:02:06.380 Russia. Now Putin is bombarding nearly all of Ukraine with missiles daily, a new more brutal
00:02:13.780 phase of the war obviously underway. So what does the puppet Biden do? He calls out Saudi Arabia. He
00:02:22.180 tells them forcefully that he's re-evaluating the U.S. relationship with the Saudis, whatever that
00:02:28.560 means. But it doesn't sound good, does it? And oh yes, to make up for the Saudis' two million 1.00
00:02:34.700 barrels a day cut in OPEC production, Biden announces he's withdrawing another 10 million
00:02:40.960 barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which amounts to about a half a day of U.S. oil
00:02:47.480 consumption. Man, that must threaten the Saudis something terrible. This president and his advisors
00:02:54.200 are quite simply nuts, no matter whether you are a Dem, a Republican, an Independent, or whatever.
00:03:01.280 This is now all about this impaired puppet president who is talking up the possibility of a nuclear 0.97
00:03:08.340 Armageddon while being in total denial about the effect of his policies, policies that have torn up
00:03:15.340 our staggering economy, our petroleum industry, and American families hit hard by both recession
00:03:21.340 and Biden's high inflation. Joining us now for his Great America Show debut, the great Bill O'Reilly.
00:03:29.200 Bill is the host of the No Spin News on BillOReilly.com. And he's also the number one bestselling author
00:03:36.840 with a new book out called Killing the Legends. We recommend it to you, of course, highly. Bill is
00:03:43.260 still the king of all media that he touches. Bill and I have known each other for quite a while,
00:03:48.320 and he's a great American and friend. Bill, a pleasure to have you with us. I want to start,
00:03:53.720 if I may, with what is going on right now with both parties claiming the electoral advantage.
00:04:00.260 Republicans seem to be convinced they're going to have a red wave, and Joe Biden, for all the world,
00:04:06.300 hasn't changed a single policy. Nancy Pelosi saying they'll hold on to the House. Well, Bill,
00:04:12.880 is it going to be a red wave or a blue surprise? Yeah, I'm going with the folks on this one. I
00:04:19.820 don't believe any politician or most of the polls are bogus as well. So the folks are angry. There's
00:04:25.720 no doubt about it. Where I live on Long Island, there's nobody happy with the Biden administration
00:04:31.200 other than the progressive ideologues. So I believe that the House will be a big victory for the
00:04:39.000 Republican Party. The Senate, a little more problematic because you've got guys like Herschel
00:04:43.280 Walker and Bulldog up in New Hampshire and Oz in Pennsylvania that certainly are not first-line
00:04:52.380 candidates. So that's a hard one to call. But the sentiment of the country is certainly anti-progressive,
00:04:59.340 anti-Biden, and I think that will hold in November. And of course, it's more than subtext,
00:05:06.400 but always President Trump, his rigged election, if you will, our rigged election, if you prefer,
00:05:15.620 is always subtext to just about everything that is going on in this country right now.
00:05:21.560 Do you believe we will ever get to the bottom of what actually happened in 2020?
00:05:27.860 Well, I have an answer for that, but first I want to set up that it doesn't do Donald Trump or the
00:05:33.600 Republican Party any good at all to re-litigate the 2020 presidential election. They should stop
00:05:41.340 immediately in doing that. If Donald Trump is Grover Cleveland and gets re-elected to a non-consecutive
00:05:50.760 term, the first thing he can do is appoint a special counselor to go over the entire electoral
00:05:59.820 system and look at the 2020 election. That is the only way you'll ever get clarity on it.
00:06:09.300 And I told that to Donald Trump, that it doesn't do you any good to keep pounding the fraud aspect.
00:06:17.500 Everyone knows what you believe. Everyone.
00:06:20.180 Right. So now you've got to move ahead, run on your record. I mean, think about it. And you know
00:06:27.080 this better than anybody, Lou. Two years ago, the United States was the most vibrant economy on the
00:06:33.600 planet. And in the space of two years, the Biden administration has wrecked it, wrecked it.
00:06:39.820 And all Trump has to do is run on that theme and throw in the border, throw in violent crime,
00:06:49.340 throw in the progressive indoctrination of children. And you would think that he would
00:06:54.340 have a very good chance to be re-elected. But if he continues to have feuds with McConnell's wife
00:07:03.940 and go back to the election, Americans are tired of that.
00:07:08.900 At the same time, I understand very well the angst, the pain that this man has felt for more
00:07:16.720 than six years now. He's been the subject of political persecution by the radical Dems,
00:07:23.060 the Marxist left in this country through all that time, the deep state, of course.
00:07:27.760 What is troubling to me in all of this is that there is so little interest on the part of the
00:07:32.840 Republican Party leadership in probing and finding out what's going on. I would have thought,
00:07:40.220 and I'd like to get your idea on this, but I would have thought the RNC would have insisted on buying
00:07:45.440 the best investigators in the world and getting into the issue immediately back on the day after
00:07:54.900 the election in 2020. But instead, it has been a level of acceptance, despite the obvious anomalies,
00:08:01.820 the obvious irregularities that occurred.
00:08:06.440 Well, the big thing was the Zuckerberg money, to me. You're never going to track down local precincts,
00:08:13.000 and this one hid this, this one did that. You're not going to do it. It's not going to happen. It's
00:08:17.640 impossible. But when you have an American pumping $500 million into selected counties to get people
00:08:24.220 out of their homes to vote for Joe Biden, you've got a big thing there. That's a big headline.
00:08:30.060 Now, I told Trump maybe three, four days after the election that he lost or didn't lose, but that was
00:08:37.840 the total, that he should have appointed a special counsel then. But he should have gone to Barr then,
00:08:44.180 because Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell were not going to cut it. So he didn't do it. I don't know why.
00:08:51.200 I didn't follow up on it. But I felt his pain. I did. I mean, I can't tell you, I can't sit here and
00:09:00.240 tell you that election was a fraud, because I don't have that kind of unverified information. But I can
00:09:06.660 tell you that $500 million is a lot of money to go into 15 counties. Okay. And if you don't think
00:09:14.720 that's nefarious, then you're not paying attention. That's where I would go. Because those counties
00:09:21.120 were all in swing states, states that, you know, threw the election to Biden.
00:09:28.020 And we witnessed outright political corruption in the state of Wisconsin. Michael Gableman,
00:09:34.780 the special counsel that was appointed by the Republican head of the assembly in Wisconsin.
00:09:40.920 I mean, he got he dug right into those Zucker bucks that were spent lavishly and the outsourcing,
00:09:50.260 if you will, of the electoral responsibilities of county clerks and the Wisconsin Election
00:09:55.740 Commission. We know what happened. They effectively took over the the public election on the part of
00:10:03.160 the state government and local local precincts throughout the state. The result was, as you say,
00:10:09.960 irresistible, irresistible, they got the turnout, they changed the election. But I want to get I want
00:10:14.340 to get to something because you've said it twice. Now, you told Trump. Now, as both of us are friends of
00:10:20.140 Donald Trump, we both know him very well. I just want to hear how in the world he responded to that
00:10:27.000 statement. He doesn't respond. He never he doesn't respond. He looks at me. He absorbs the information,
00:10:35.860 I assume. But he doesn't say you're right, Bill, or you're wrong, Bill, or I'm not going to do it or I
00:10:43.180 am going to do it. He doesn't say he doesn't do that. And it's not my job as a American citizen to
00:10:50.120 cajole him. I mean, it's not my job. My job is when he asked me a question and I should have made this
00:10:57.800 clear. I don't call him. Right. He calls me. I'm not intruding on Donald Trump's life. It's not my job
00:11:04.540 as a journalist. My job is to watch everybody, including Donald Trump. OK, but when any politician
00:11:10.220 and many Democrats have call me and ask for an opinion, I give it to them. I feel it's my duty
00:11:16.400 as a citizen to do that. And I speak, frankly, as you know, better than anybody else. I'll never BS
00:11:22.640 anybody. I know I'll tell you what I believe and why I believe it. And you take it or leave it.
00:11:27.180 I personally believe, Bill, that the election was rigged. I believe it was rigged in a host of ways,
00:11:36.140 many of which didn't occur to, I think, many people in real time in the days following the
00:11:42.560 election. But Bill Barr played a pivotal role when he chose not to intervene in the election of 2020,
00:11:48.520 knowing full well that Vice President Biden had lied in the second debate. As he acknowledges,
00:11:54.920 he did. He felt he should not intervene. But meanwhile, he was dispatching FBI agents to big
00:12:02.080 tech, social media, big media, telling them to stay away from the October 14th news break by the New
00:12:08.820 York Post about the Hunter Biden laptop and its contents and what and its implications of the
00:12:14.940 of the Biden family, if you will. That was a that was a pivotal moment. And 51 intelligence
00:12:21.240 agencies, Barr knew they were lying. They provided a shield for the former vice president in that
00:12:28.120 second and final debate in 2020. And polls show that that would have changed the outcome had voters
00:12:35.320 known it. Yeah, Barr didn't want to get involved with Barr didn't want to get involved with the
00:12:40.040 election at all. I mean, he didn't. And that was his decision. And he has to live with it. But two
00:12:46.520 years hence, we still don't have any definition on Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, because the media won't
00:12:52.480 cover it. And of course, the Biden administration is not going to investigate it. So there's no
00:12:57.440 vehicle to take us there. And if I were the Democratic, if I were the Republican leadership,
00:13:03.600 I would make it a campaign issue somewhat. And I would say if you elect us, so we can control the
00:13:10.280 House of Representatives in the Senate, we will investigate the Hunter Biden situation. That
00:13:16.480 would be another powerful, motivating factor for people to go and vote. Now, the Democratic Party
00:13:23.700 and the progressives, they don't want to know, and they would resist. But if the Republicans take
00:13:29.380 the House, and they will, there will be a big, full blown Hunter Biden investigation. So the American
00:13:37.940 people, all Americans should applaud that, because we want to know the truth. If Hunter Biden used his
00:13:45.000 father's office as VP to amass millions of dollars, that should be established. But, you know, we live
00:13:53.420 in a flawed country, Lou, and it's not like everybody's trying to do the right thing.
00:13:58.820 And most of them seem to work for the Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
00:14:03.900 when they're not framing people, whether it be a General Michael Flynn, a frame up there by the
00:14:09.820 FBI, the Whitmer kidnapping case in Michigan, where they're framing up poor, poor average citizens
00:14:17.980 who just simply were available to them. And they expediently framed them for the kidnapping
00:14:25.860 and, and absolutely entrapped them. And they were, well, the worst is the New York State
00:14:31.780 Trump Organization, the Letitia James Attorney General, a civil suit. I mean, that's ridiculous.
00:14:40.340 It's absolutely ridiculous. There's no big, there's no victim there. I mean, the banks wouldn't even
00:14:44.880 sign on to the suit. The people that she says were defrauded won't even sign on to the civil suit. 0.95
00:14:52.320 But that's the most vivid, corrupt justice situation in the country today.
00:14:59.940 And the entire Democratic Party in New York doesn't have the guts to say to Letitia James, 0.92
00:15:06.440 you know, you are a fraud. We knew you were a fraud, but you can't really keep going in this
00:15:11.140 direction because it's really unseemly for the party to endorse such fraudulent activity. As you say,
00:15:17.340 the banks, they knew exactly what the game is and what is done by every developer.
00:15:21.720 It's absurd. There were no loans that weren't paid by the Trump Organization. Not a single
00:15:27.240 solitary person lost a dime as a result. That's why she couldn't, that's why they couldn't bring 0.99
00:15:33.020 criminal charges. And the crazy left progressive DA in Manhattan dropped it. Yeah. Dropped it.
00:15:39.720 Even Bragg had to know that, uh, that this was not a, not a winner. No.
00:15:44.720 Good old Letitia plowed ahead. This is the, the corruption that we're dealing with in America 1.00
00:15:52.200 today. And the media is primarily responsible because the media is now allied with the Democratic
00:15:58.260 Party. When you have the powerful corporate media, Disney and Comcast and CBS and CNN, all allied with a
00:16:06.780 single political party, that's the road to totalitarianism. And that's where we are. And, you know, look,
00:16:14.000 I can only do so much as a commentator and a historian, you know, I write great books so
00:16:18.640 people can read them and get away from the corruption a little bit. Um, but it's there in
00:16:24.080 big time. Yeah. It's, it's, it's almost nostalgic as well as history as a safer time. What have
00:16:31.060 you done? 18, 19 killing books now?
00:16:33.500 Yeah. Now we got 12 killing books, 19 million copies of my books in print. It is the bestselling
00:16:40.900 nonfiction book series of all time. And, um, and I, and forgive me for confusing the 19 million
00:16:48.340 and the 12 killing books. It seems like you've killed so many that I thought it's an even larger
00:16:53.080 number, but not enough, Lou. I've still got a big list. The killing the legends, the latest book that
00:16:59.560 just came out. Um, this is cultural history. First time I've departed from, uh, political and warfare
00:17:06.220 history into, uh, how we Americans live today. And, and people don't know this, but these three
00:17:12.620 individuals on the cover of killing the legends, the lethal danger of celebrity, John Lennon, Elvis
00:17:17.300 Presley, Muhammad Ali, each one of them influences how we live today. It's an amazing story.
00:17:26.340 And nobody has ever linked it together. And then the kicker on the story is their fame destroyed
00:17:35.680 them and they were all betrayed from the inside. So they all have this thread in common. But the
00:17:44.760 most important aspect of killing the legends is we live today. We're in the middle of a culture war
00:17:49.260 today because of these three men. And they say, well, why didn't you write about Marilyn Monroe or
00:17:55.840 Michael Jackson? I said, because they didn't influence American culture. I mean, in the fifties,
00:18:01.180 you and I were around or kids, it was a conformist culture post-World War II, Dwight Eisenhower
00:18:06.680 president. Everybody said the same, looked the same, no dissent. One teenager from Mississippi goes
00:18:13.080 on the Ed Sullivan show and blows up the entire culture in six minutes with a dopey song named
00:18:20.240 Town Dog. It's an amazing historical story. I still don't know what that song's about, by the way.
00:18:27.080 It's about some stupid dog who barks too much. All right. And the whole culture changes from
00:18:34.360 conformity to rock and roll rebellion in six minutes. It's just, I mean, it's staggering.
00:18:43.340 But I have to say the premise that you started with on these three individuals, cultural icons,
00:18:51.100 and at the same time, change agents for an entire society is a brilliant premise. And I don't think
00:18:59.480 anybody, but frankly, you could have come up with it. And I love it. And I marvel at what you've
00:19:07.540 you've done with this book.
00:19:10.300 Well, I appreciate that, Lou, because, you know, you're a skeptical guy, you're reading stuff. And,
00:19:14.680 you know, unfortunately, some people say, oh, it's a People magazine celebrity book. No,
00:19:19.080 nothing to do with that. All right. It has to do with you. Yep. You're in the middle of a culture
00:19:23.900 war. If you're a traditional conservative American, your values are under siege. And that began
00:19:30.380 big time in the 60s. And the Beatles were the spear point. And I'm still walking. I'm looking
00:19:36.980 for guys who at my age then have crew cuts or, you know, or butch cuts. I can't find them,
00:19:44.340 except maybe in the Marine Corps. It's a wild time in which we live. We seem to be floating without
00:19:52.800 values, without perspective or proportion, a sense of proportion, or a clear vision of our future.
00:20:02.640 Donald Trump came closest to articulating that, and I think did a wonderful job of doing so. I
00:20:08.360 think it's part of his appeal. But generally, I'm going to, and I appreciate you having me on your
00:20:13.460 podcast, but I'm going to leave you with this. Fame has hurt Donald Trump. Fame has hurt him
00:20:19.320 because he's addicted to it. And that goes back to our discussion about, look, you've got to run on
00:20:27.120 your record. You've got to leave the other stuff behind. You don't need to be on the front page
00:20:32.000 every day. It's exhausting. And people get worn out. But the fame quotient, and I know Donald Trump,
00:20:41.100 and I wrote a book on him, The United States of Trump. I know him as well as anybody knows him.
00:20:45.100 Okay? He has to be the center of attention. And that has hurt him. Look, in my opinion,
00:20:53.200 he did a brilliant job running this country for four years. He solved very, very complex problems
00:21:01.140 and was able to keep Putin and Xi and even the Iranians at bay. I mean, these are monumental 1.00
00:21:08.260 achievements that nobody even thinks about because they were overshadowed by this insane
00:21:13.980 tabloid press garbage that he drove. He gave Maggie Haberman three interviews after she has
00:21:23.360 ripped his throat out for six years. Who does that?
00:21:29.040 Only Donald Trump would do it, only as the deep state and the Marxist Dems are trying to,
00:21:34.140 pursue him for six-plus years now to destroy him. And still, he comes back for more,
00:21:42.080 as you point out. Bill O'Reilly, the book is masterful, as always. We recommend it to you
00:21:48.760 highly. It's on our website. It is on Amazon. And Bill O'Reilly is everywhere, as usual,
00:21:54.800 doing his usual brilliant job. Thanks so much, Bill O'Reilly.
00:21:58.740 Thank you, Lou. Appreciate it. Talk soon.
00:22:02.520 Thanks, everybody, for being with us today. Tomorrow, our guest will be New York Post
00:22:07.100 columnist Miranda Devine on Biden whistleblower Tony Bobulinski, Hunter Biden and the Biden crime
00:22:14.060 family, and this critical midterm election. Please join us for all of that and more tomorrow.
00:22:20.840 Till then, God bless you, and may God bless America.
